Letter to Congress on SS Reform

I seriously doubt that any actual person in government, much less member of Congress will actually read this, but let me put it down and be among the millions of Americans whose voices will be ignored in the name of a newfound austerity for the masses in favor of empire building for the oligarchy.  A kind of reverse New Deal. Let's bail out the banks and Wall Street and have the elderly, retired and working poor pay for it and while we are at it take down all the safety nets for those unable to support themselves through a near depression.  It is clear that our entire government from the President on down has been bought and paid for by the ruling class of wealthy international corporations and super rich 1%.  It no longer matters who we vote for, because no one gets to be a viable candidate who is not already aligned with their donors, or mere distractions of simple minded solutions who serve to keep our attention diverted from what is really going on.

So go ahead, screw the elderly.  They aren't going to be around much longer anyway, even more so once the impact of these "necessary adjustments" to save the program, begin sucking out the food and shelter they can now barely afford.  You want to save Social Security? Then why are you making it untenable for those receiving it after paying into it all their working lives, to survive?  We keep hearing how bad the economy is and there simply isn't enough coming in to support the programs we established during the Great Depression.  How is it that the Stock Market is at unprecedented levels and wealth is being accumulated hand over fist by those magicians who just a few years ago made trillions of dollars disappear that we, the real tax payers, had to pony up to keep them from suffering the consequences of their own pocket lining schemes?  We could certainly afford it then couldn't we?  So I'm resigned to trying to get a job at 68 in order to make ends meet. Because it is much more important that the super rich not pay their share of the wealth they earned by bilking the system.  That would be detrimental to the economy.  Better to pit the elderly against the young for minimum wage jobs.
